Dodd is a Dem and like Jefferson he will get a pass.
Now if he were a Republican he’d be hounded out by the press and his peers.
None of the Leftist sycophants in the press are going to hound this Reprobate ,they have a goal of a 60 seat majority and no CULTURE OF CORRUPTION is going to stand in their way.
In his best Nixonian voice: "I am NOT a crook!" "Don't worry floks it's all part of the show."
floks = folks
It looks like the play is..
B of A buys a troubled Countrywide for a song, the Congress bails out Countrywide, raising its worth back to pre-trouble levels, and B of A makes a killing.
Oh, B of A execs have ‘contributed’ $70k to Dodd.
Think that about covers it.
He’s as DIRTY as they come...a TYPICAL DEMOCRAT, and NOTHING will happen to him because he is a Democrat!
Nothing will happen. All you need to know is that Dodd is a democrat. Democrats get away with all sorts of crimes. Outrage and investigations are reserved for Republicans.
Dodd should simply confess and turn himself in to the authorities.
“dod must clear air over deals”
i beg your pardon.
commissars of the highly-esteemed left are not subject to the same rules and regulations as the masses. (sniff)
IMHO
wasn’t his dad, Tom censured for corruption? I seem to recall him hiding in the cloak room whilst his colleagues censured him...
maybe it’s true about how far the apple falls
Pig must have grown wings...
Someone must have used the jaws of life to pry the Hartford Courant’s lips off of Dodd’s ass.
"Outrageous," in Dodd's mind, that a newspaper even mentioned it.
Shame on the MSM, the New York Times, and the Washington Post for downplaying this story.
Dodd's big defense - - and casual warning to those who might do future favors for him - - is to make sure that he's ignorant of the favors being done. What a joke.
Well Dodd, I can't get your deal - and no other American citizen can get your deal either. Well, unless they're on the take.
You knew it. Your innocent virgin bit is more offensive than padding your pocket on our dime. You've been around the block a few times Dodd. Don't try to play innocent - it makes you look like a fool.
And faked ignorance is not a defense either.
This would be the story of the year if Dodd was a Republican.
Yeah, for sure. I pulled this list of the various committees Dodd is either currently on or has served on “Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs; Foreign Relations; Health, Education, Labor and Pensions; Joint Committee on the Library; Rules and Administration”. So, Dodd having this extensive background in finance and such wants us to believe that he had no inkling that he was receiving favorable rates and treatment? In the remote possibility that Dodd is indeed telling the truth about his ignorance, he has to be the dumbest person to have ever served on these various committees. Perhaps this is the reason that the Left/Democrats have passed or attempted to pass so many stupid pieces of legislation?
You know, nothing is going to change in the senate or the house until we the people descend on it with torches, pitchforks and plenty of rope.
